Hi Marian!

Just a suggestion that migh help – I always take a small digital recorder to my doctor appointments and record the whole thing so I can listen to it later and confirm in my mind just what was said and work out what questions I need to ask my doc or specialist nurse.

Mine is very small (the size of a memory stick) and I download the recording on my computer (or it could go on an ipod) and has been helpful so far to remind me of things I forgot or just didn't understand.
I bought it here http://www.gizoo.co.uk/Products/PCGaming/PCGadgets/USBDigitalVoiceRecorder.htm

Wishing you and you family all the best

Dear Roz,

It was great to see a post from you and hear that your kitchen is all fixed up now.

Your remembrance garden and Michael's bench are such a lovely idea and I wish you many pleasant hours with the birds in the future.

I have missed his actual birthday but I will be thinking of you and Michael today and hope it will be possible for you to remember the good times with him at least for some of the weekend amidst the tears.

Sending you some cyberhugs with all my love

I wish I could give you a big hug

Good to hear Kev and you are starting to get back to "normal", Liz!

I remember how good it was to have the Hickman line out, It was such a fiddly business trying to keep the connectors dry when having a shower!

Wishing you an uneventful few weeks while he gets his strength back and hope you both get some rest and relaxation over the summer, assuming the last month of fine weather hasn't been all the summer we are going to get!

I hope the itchy rash vanishes soon.

Lots of luv to you both!

I am so glad to hear you persevered and called 999!

sometimes we just have to believe in our gut instincts.

My husband is prone to developing pneumonia after a cold so I have been known to exaggerate his symptoms to the duty doctor in the night if it looks as if he is heading that way in the past as I know in a few hours he will need hospitalisation and gets over it quicker if they can get him in before he is literally out of his mind.

I always feel it is better for both us MMers and our "other half" to be under the care of medical staff if all is not well, rather than be at home with an untrained nurse (me) in charge!

I hope they are able to stabalise Slim's condition.

Congratulations on your forthcoming wedding, Eve! I wish you both all the best on the day.

I am glad the problems have been mentioned that can come at significant times when people discover that not being married means they have no right to be kept in the loop during their partner's illness and treatment, let alone the rules about wills etc, which are archaic in my mind.

I don't know if someone can designate their "longtime significant other" as being their next of kin, but can imagine all sorts of complications if it is not an option.

[ElizellenParticipant]

What initiative she showed, and what a good, kind man to donate!

[ElizellenParticipant]

Great positive news, Shirley!

Long may it remain so.

Just a note about the complan type of drinks, when he is out of hospital it is possible to get those on prescription, so worth mentioning to his doctor and insisting on them being presxribed when the time comes. I think they are quite expensive to buy so thought I'd mention it.
